Unfortunately, some things and/or event related to the alteration of the worlds bindings drive them to some proofs. Proofs about them (these players, not their characters), that prove their world, the so called real world, is actually virtual and they only are mere NPC of this matrix.

So apparently HR hasn’t considered how players tend to look for hacks and glitches. In the sepia world (prior to hooking in the 5) he could control the code but not the players ( baring TOS agreements) now he’s hacked himself some uber powers but so have the 5 and they actually have a deeper connection to and understanding of the world. Quite literally he hooked 5 human minds into the system and in so doing brought a randomness and life into the program that no computer could ever duplicate. It’s rather obvious that the program hasn’t been responding to code for a while they are in many ways a computer virus that is actually alive. Everything in computers has to be programmed including RNG so there is always a bit of predictability but with the human mind the program is truly adaptive and random becomes a chaos that no computer can (at this point in time) can match. By going in himself all he has done is ad add another chaotic element and given the evidence of his actions in sepia a vastly unstable element. He may have hacked himself some awesome power but at this point even the program is fighting him.
